We are reliably informed that
our county officials are making a
prolonged and vigorous kick because
the County Commissioners saw fit
on the grounds Of economy and JUS
tice to allow them the minimum
instead Of the maximum salary.
That is all right boys, when you
make the campaign on retrench-
ment and reform, don't squeal if
you get it with vengeance. We
will venture the assertion that
majority Of you will come up smil-

dates, from Delegate to coroner, in

JAKE SHARP'S SENTENCE.

Convicted of the crime Of bribery
sad spectacle indeed, did jacob
Sharp, the man who bought W
sNey York city aldermen at SO much
4 head, make when brought in the
court room last week to receive SEN
fence. All the pressure that could
possibly be brought to bear-his
old age, past seventy; his feeble
health; the jury that convicted him
petitioling for a fine only-was
urged upon the Judge for mercy.
But justice must be done.
in delivering sentence Judge Bar
ret said he had never performed so
delicate a task in his whole profess
Hional career. He had received
many letters from people pleading
for mercy for Sharp; but the court
was not appointed to be merciful
any more than was dictated by the
laws of justice. "What is there to
excite pity or mercy, except the age
and ill-health of the prisoner and
the mourning condition of his fam
lily? With over 100000 in his
pocket, he clamors for mercy, with
out offering to pay back penny of
the money stolen, SO that should he
die in prison his family has a vast
fortune to fall back upon" At this
Mrs. Sharp buried her face in her
handkerchief and wept silently,
while the prisoner himself did not
lift his face from the table. "The
Judgment of this court is that the
prisoner be confined for four years
at hard labor, and pay fine of
$4,000" An attempt at applause
was made in one corner of the room
as the sentence was pronounced, but
it was suppressed quickly. Sharp
received his sentence with stoicial
and Resigned despair He was
borne, almost fainting, out of the
court room. Mrs. Sharp was terri
bly, affected, and gave way to un-
emotion.
